Old photograph of Belton House by Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland. The estate of Belton came into the possession of John, second Lord Hay of Yester, in 1468, by his marriage with Elizabeth, sole heiress of George, son of Sir William Cunningham, of Belton, from which time it remained in the Yester family until the year 1687, when a charter of the Barony of Belton was granted by John, second Marquess of Tweeddale, to his second son, Lord David Hay. Additions to Belton House have been made at various times, the last being in 1865. Belton House is now a roofless ruin.
